What is TBWP?
Trinity Baptist Weekday Preschool (or TBWP) is a part-time weekday preschool program that meets three hours a day. We offer two days for ages 2 and under, three days for 3-year-olds and four days for 4-year-olds. Our program introduces children to group childcare away from their primary caregiver while teaching basic Bible truths and age-appropriate educational concepts.
Purpose
Our program was created to provide a Christian learning environment where preschoolers could interact with peers and build a foundation for life-long learning about God's love. We strive to offer a safe, affordable program with loving, Christian teachers that will prepare preschoolers for 5-year-old kindergarten. Our program is available to both church members and the surrounding community.
Overview of Our Program
All classes have two adult teachers-a lead teacher and an assistant. Teachers are required to pass a background check for employment. Each month we focus on an age-appropriate Bible verse and Bible story as well as introduce children to preschool concepts. Each day children are offered a variety of activities. We divide our time into five basic elements: Free play, Snack time, Circle or Group time, Arts and crafts, and Outdoor play time. The 4-year-olds also have a "center" time where they rotate between different learning centers for more focused learning to prepare them for 5-year-old kindergarten.
